Mmmmmm   Canned meat product!  SPAM is the registered trademark owned by
the Hormel Food Corporation.  Referring to the internet phenomenon, they
state "if the term is to be used, it should be used in all lower-case
letters to distinguish it from our trademark SPAM, which should be used
with all uppercase letters. "  http://www.spam.com/about/internet.aspx

Why wouldn't you put Listserv behind your filter?  I have my server behing
my CanIt Pro cluster which keeps the garbage to a minimum.  Messages
blocked due to virus, RBL or other malicious content don't show up, but I
get an email once a day with the others and at most, they have been NDNs.
